The band made a surprise return to Paris and performed with U2 on Monday night, their first onstage appearance since the November 13 attacks that killed 130 people overall in Paris.

U2 were playing the last of four concerts in Paris, two of which had been postponed when France announced a state of emergency following the attacks.

Frontman Bono told the audience they said he wanted to introduce ‘some people whose lives will forever be a part of this city of Paris’. He said: ‘These are our brothers. Our fellow troubadours. They were robbed of their stage three weeks ago, and we would like to offer them ours tonight.’
